ADs December 2014 Devotional

It’s December 2014 and the world is ablaze. A spark of rage from Ferguson MO lights a nation-wide fire of perceived injustice. ISIS uses the pent-up anger of naïve and disenfranchised youth to recruit them to their horrific cause. What a perfect time for us as believers to show His peace to a world that has none.  
    Paul, facing extremely unjust circumstances, said, “I have learned the secret of being content.” (Phil 4:11).   His secret? “I can be content in any and every situation through the Anointed One who is my power and strength” Phil. 4:13 (Voice). This type of contentment is not natural; it is learned!
    My prayer for you this Christmas season is that you are learning to walk with Jesus, depending on Him whatever your challenges. If we are to speak prophetically to our angry and discontent generation, we must learn this secret of contentment. Let’s let His peace radiate through us as we speak prophetically to our world desperate to know Him.
